45E1 Rail
Product Overview
45E1 rail (also called BS90A rail)is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in heavy-duty industrial environments, combining strength, durability, and precision engineering. Compliant with EN 13674-4 standards, this rail is manufactured from premium steel grades (R200, R260, R260Mn, R350HT) to resist wear, fatigue, and dynamic loads.
Key Features
Dimensions:
Weight:45.11 kg/m (90.7 lb/yd)
Head Width:66.67 mm | Rail Height: 142.88 mm | Base Width: 127.00 mm | Web Thickness: 13.89 mm
Length:Standard 5–25 meters; custom lengths available.
Material & Mechanical Properties
Standards: UIC 860 (rail geometry), EN 13674-1 (Railway applications – Rails), ISO 9001:2015 (quality management)
Steel Grades:
R260 (260–300 HBW, ≥880 MPa tensile strength): Standard for mainline freight (axle loads up to 25 tons) and regional passenger lines.
R260Mn (enhanced Mn content, ≥900 MPa tensile strength): Optimized for high-wear environments (mining, ports).
R300HT (heat-treated, 300–340 HBW, ≥1080 MPa tensile strength): For ultra-heavy haul (30+ ton axles) and high-speed (≥200 km/h) applications.
Customization Services
Rail Processing: Pre-drilled bolt patterns (M24–M30), stress-relieved end machining, and mill-certified weld preparation.
Accessories:
Rail clamps
45E1-compatible fish plates & bolts.
Rail pads (5–15 mm thickness) for vibration damping in passenger lines.
Applications
Railway Systems
Ideal for heavy-haul freight networks and light rail systems.
Deployed in feeder lines for high-speed trains, with R350HT grades .
Mining & Quarries
Resists deformation from uneven track beds and abrasive ore cart wheels in underground and open-pit mines .
R260Mn grade preferred for surface quarry rails, withstanding repetitive loading/unloading of gravel and stone.
Construction Sites
Temporary rail systems for tower cranes and precast concrete yards, ensuring safe and efficient material handling.
Heat-resistant grades (R350HT) maintain structural integrity in steel mill hot zones (up to 400°C) .
Ports & Intermodal Terminals
Critical for container gantry cranes in hubs, with galvanized 45E1 rails resisting saltwater corrosion and repetitive stress from automated stacking systems.
